one walks on a heading, not a bearing.
a) Note that angle Q is 90 degrees, so you have a right triangle. Easy...
b) This is the correct use of "bearing." If the bearing is x, then
tan(x+25) = 18.7/11.4
A diagram will show you why.
A bushwalking party leave P and walk on a bearing of 335(degrees) for 11.4km until they reach Q. From Q they walk on a bearing of 65(degrees) for 18.7km at which point they arrive at R.
a) What is the distance between R and P to 3 sig. figs.?
b) What is the bearing of R from P, correct to nearest minute.
